The women's basketball team and its travel party will leave Nashville on a 12:45 p.m. EDT flight today, and is expected to return to Bradley International Airport at about 3 p.m. There will be no public event at the airport.
The Huskies will then return to the Storrs campus for a National Champions "Victory Lap” beginning at about 4 o’clock. Players will ride in an open-air double decker bus and will be accompanied by the UConn pep band and cheerleaders.
Upon conclusion of the "Victory Lap" there will be a brief program at the Fairfield Way Plaza – between the Student Union and the School of Business.
The "Victory Lap" will begin at the corner of Route 195 (Storrs Road) and North Eagleville Road at the Storrs Congregational Church. The team will then take a left onto Glenbrook Road and a left onto the "CLAS" Bus Way and drive in front of the Wilbur Cross Building and Gulley Hall. At Gulley Hall, the team will take a right onto Fairfield Way (at Hawley Armory), make its way past the Homer Babbidge Library, and end at Fairfield Way Plaza.
